Su Yuan and Xiao Li were organizing the treasures. Inside the large secret realm of Cave #6, the treasures were piled up like mountains. Though they appeared numerous, sorting them wasn't difficult - they simply needed to arrange them according to how the Sacred Hall Realm Pirates had organized their treasures.
Xiao Li exclaimed excitedly: "Master, we have 90,600 low-grade immortal artifacts, 3,000 mid-grade ones, 100 high-grade ones, 20 top-grade ones, and even 2 supreme-grade immortal artifacts!"
Su Yuan was equally delighted. These were just the immortal artifacts - they also had massive quantities of pills, formations, talismans, materials, rare treasures, medicinal herbs, and more. With so many treasures, the previously empty shelves of the Seven Stars Pagoda would be fully stocked in an instant! The realm pirates' treasury was indeed bountiful.
However, Su Yuan knew these were just ordinary treasures. Though some were high-level, most weren't the best in their categories. The truly valuable items must have been carried by the Sacred Hall leader personally. There was one exception though - the sealed jade box that had been tightly secured by the pirates. He was extremely curious about it.
After roughly organizing the treasury's contents, Su Yuan examined the jade box in his hand. Xiao Li stood nearby, equally curious. Using his profound knowledge of runes, Su Yuan unlocked the box's seal. As he gently opened it, they saw inside an unremarkable oval-shaped object covered in fine wrinkles.
"What is this?" Xiao Li wondered. "It looks like... a seed!"
Su Yuan studied the "seed" and attempted to probe it with his spiritual sense. Unsurprisingly, his consciousness sank into it like an ox into quicksand, disappearing instantly.
"How strange - it's devouring my spiritual sense!" Su Yuan sent a wisp of his magic power into it next, but that too was swallowed without a trace.
Su Yuan immediately sent his consciousness to the Corridor of Time, arriving at a temporal fragment showing the Dragon Clan's Myriad Books Sea. His consciousness rapidly browsed through the records there. After five full days, he finally found information about this seed:
[Low-grade innate spiritual root - Green Olive Tree seed. Requires celestial merit irrigation to grow. Takes 100 years to bloom, 100 years to fruit, and 100 years to mature.]
Su Yuan thought for a moment, then went to the mountaintop in Cave #6. He prepared a plot of land and buried the seed. Then, invoking his authority as [Seven Stars Supreme], he communicated with the Heavenly Dao.
"Heavenly Dao, I've obtained a low-grade innate spiritual root seed. This tree's growth will benefit the Seven Stars Realm's development. It requires celestial merit irrigation - I request your assistance!"
As Su Yuan spoke calmly to the sky, the Heavenly Dao responded. A golden cloud appeared, followed by a golden pillar of light descending to earth - celestial merit in its purest form. If the Sacred Hall leader had witnessed this scene, her eyes would have popped out in shock. But Su Yuan remained completely composed. As the Seven Stars Realm's Supreme Being, commanding the Heavenly Dao was perfectly normal for him.
After two full hours of golden light irrigation, a tender sprout finally emerged from the soil. Under the radiance of the celestial merit, it grew at astonishing speed - from seedling to sapling to mature tree in just seven days! The Heavenly Dao's golden light continued pouring down throughout this entire period.
This spectacle attracted countless creatures' attention, though none dared approach due to the overwhelming heavenly pressure that made even looking up difficult. Su Yuan could sense the Heavenly Dao's origin source weakening - celestial merit was essentially the world's origin energy. Normally, the impartial Heavenly Dao would never use its essence to nourish a tree - only Su Yuan's command could make this happen.
When the Green Olive Tree fully matured, it immediately began releasing pure spiritual energy! Vast amounts of energy spilled from its leaves, invigorating even Su Yuan.
"This is innate spiritual energy - what we call immortal qi!" Indeed, immortal qi referred precisely to innate spiritual energy. This was the energy immortal realm cultivators truly needed. Without direct access to innate spiritual energy, immortal cultivators had to painstakingly convert acquired spiritual energy through their cultivation techniques, severely limiting their progress.
The Green Olive Tree could directly transform earth vein energy into innate spiritual energy, meaning the Seven Stars Realm now had the capacity to produce its own immortal qi! This wasn't just about gaining a spiritual tree - it represented a fundamental transformation from nothingness to existence!
Su Yuan could see the tree's innate spiritual energy operation patterns being recorded and replicated by the Heavenly Dao - a sight only visible to him as the realm's Supreme Being. Within the Heavenly Dao's cosmic web, a brand new law was being added.
"This is a branch of the Creation Law - the transformation from acquired to innate!" Realization dawned upon Su Yuan, and he immediately entered a state of enlightenment. Xiao Li quickly stood guard to prevent any disturbances.
Seven days later, Su Yuan awoke to discover changes within himself. The natural formation restrictions in his spiritual apertures had all transformed during his enlightenment. Now, under the operation of these new restrictions, his acquired magic power would gradually convert into innate magic power - a tremendous benefit that would drastically reduce his dependence on external innate spiritual energy.
Observing the Heavenly Dao's cosmic web, he saw the transformation was complete - a new branch of Creation Law had been added. The world's constraints had loosened significantly, now allowing Great Ascension cultivators to break through to the immortal realm on their own!
Across the realm, some spiritual veins underwent mysterious changes, emitting faint traces of innate spiritual energy - though most degraded back to acquired energy upon contact with the world. Still, this accelerated the Seven Stars Realm's overall spiritual energy concentration.
All these changes stemmed from a single seed. Su Yuan was extremely satisfied - the realm's improvement directly enhanced his own power. As its Supreme Being, he could mobilize the entire Seven Stars Realm's strength. He was essentially its absolute ruler - the stronger the realm grew, the stronger he became.
Now, the Seven Stars Realm had fully entered the category of spirit realms! The Heavenly Dao's power instantly matched that of a Heavenly Immortal and was still rapidly increasing. This was the charm of world advancement - each new level revealed entirely new vistas!
Su Yuan willed the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron to move toward the Seven Stars Realm.
Meanwhile, in the spatial turbulence, the Sacred Hall leader detected Zheng Jicheng's coordinate changes and immediately adjusted course to pursue the cauldron-shaped immortal ark. She wasn't particularly suspicious of its movement - it was normal for immortal arks to periodically return for maintenance and energy core replacements rather than remain permanently in the spatial turbulence.
"Is it heading toward the Seven Star Trading Association's headquarters?" Her eyes gleamed with new plans. "If so, perhaps the method to obtain Yellow Spring Water lies there!" She decided against immediately seizing the ark, opting instead to follow it to the headquarters.
Three days later, her ark finally caught up but she didn't attack. Instead, she carefully probed the cauldron-ark's interior for powerful guardians. Using the Sacred Hall Realm Pirates' methods, she quickly confirmed there was only a single weak Earth Immortal aboard - a force so insignificant she'd normally ignore it completely. But knowing Yellow Spring Water was involved, she grew excited at the prospect of finding its source at the headquarters.
Finally, she saw the ark dock outside a world. Her scouts immediately infiltrated to gather intelligence, which soon reached her hands:
"Seven Stars Realm. Dominant force: Seven Stars Sect, possessing 'powerful' Great Ascension cultivators? Legend says the Seven Stars Dao Lord is a reincarnated mighty being with peerless strength?"
The Sacred Hall leader found this information increasingly bizarre. Wasn't this just a mortal realm? Then she made a startling discovery - this was actually a newly ascended spirit realm!
"A spirit realm! And a newly ascended one at that!" She was overjoyed. Spirit realms were rare compared to numerous mortal realms. They were perfect for cultivation from Human Immortal to Xuan Immortal, but more importantly, they typically nurtured one to several Golden Immortal fruition positions - meaning one could break through to Golden Immortal here!
Her excitement soared. She could occupy this spirit realm as the Sacred Hall's new base. If she could use it to achieve Golden Immortal status, it would be a dream come true! Murderous intent thickened in her eyes as she watched the ark enter the so-called Seven Stars Sect without obstruction. The meat was already in the pot - the ark, Yellow Spring Water, and the spirit realm itself were all now hers for the taking!
"Annihilate the Seven Stars Sect, then help me conquer the Seven Stars Realm!"
"As you command!" her subordinates responded eagerly.
Three immortal arks charged toward the Seven Stars Sect, their weapons charging for attack. However, the moment they entered the Seven Stars Realm, the world's Heavenly Dao locked onto them.
